Introduction
I’ve recently been working on Power BI projects that required tracking and visualizing upcoming meetings linked to project management activities.

It also enables users to hover over the dates to see the details of each meetings.

However, you will notice that the key principles in setting up this calendar view rely solely on native Power BI visuals with fairly simple functions.
